The “non-nucleophilic” anion [Tf2N]− competes with the nucleophilic Br−: an unexpected trapping in the dediazoniation reaction in ionic liquids†
Abstract
Imidazolium ionic liquids containing [Tf2N]− anion are not as innocent as they are often considered; [Tf2N]− is more reactive than Br− in heterolytic dediazoniation reactions.
